NYC Mayor Mamdani's Housing Plan Sparks Property-Rights Alarm Over Forced Transfers To Nonprofits
Mamdani Releases "Block by Block: The Housing Plan for A New Era"NYC socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani released "Block by Block: The Housing Plan for a New Era," which presents a sweeping, deeply troubling blueprint to tackle the metro area's deepening housing crisis.
Mamdani told the crowd:
When necessary, we will take aggressive legal action to remove negligent owners and property managers. And for buildings that have suffered chronic neglect, we work to transfer ownership to responsible stewards. Stewards include community land trusts, nonprofits, or even the tenants themselves.
(NOTICE THAT HE SAID HE WAS TRANSFERING TITLE TO NGOs AHEAD OF TENANTS.
THE PLAN IS TO MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR LANDLORDS TO REPAIR BUILDINGS SO
NGOS CAN GET THE PROPERTIES AND SIPHON ALL THE ,OMEY INTO THEIR HANDS.)

Epstein transparency act hits 450 days with 3 million pages still locked away
Both parties and AIPAC backed politicians bury the rest while zero new arrests drop.
They drop tiny batches whenever bigger headlines hit and expect us to forget the rest.
AIPAC heavily funds many (R)&(D) politicians while Israel pushes against an Iran peace deal. The public deserves answers.
The timing of these releases has also raised questions for many people. The first major Epstein file release coincided with the Venezuela strikes. The second major release happened during the Iran “Midnight Hammer” operation and the 12-day war coverage dominating headlines. At the same time, nonstop UFO/UAP and “alien disclosure” narratives continue saturating media cycles while attention is constantly redirected elsewhere.
Jeffrey Epstein trafficked and abused American children while operating among some of the wealthiest and most powerful elites in the world. Powerful elites participated in, enabled, associated with, or benefited from the system surrounding him for years while institutions looked the other way.
Yet after all of this, the only person currently behind bars connected to the broader operation is Ghislaine Maxwell.
No sweeping accountability. No major network prosecutions. No meaningful public reckoning.
At some point, people have to ask whether this system still functions as a true democracy, or whether it has become an oligarchy protected by media spectacle, partisan division, endless distractions, and “bread and circuses” designed to keep the public emotionally exhausted while the powerful remain insulated from consequences.”

Goldman Sachs Just Confirmed the Worst-Case Scenario
For the first time in this cycle, the money going out of major private credit vehicles has surpassed the money coming in. That is the headline, how private credit machine is now facing sustained investor outflows. Stage 2. And here’s the other big part of that – these net outflows are indeed forcing asset sales onto an industry that was never really built for this. That means we’re already deeper into Stage 2 than most people would think.

The Chinese mine’s owners are in big trouble.
BEIJING, May 26 – Unmarked tunnels, missing trackers and fake doors have been uncovered during an initial probe into the deadliest mining tragedy in China in over 15 years, with the government vowing to leave no stone unturned, state media reported on Tuesday.
At least 82 people were killed by a gas explosion late on Friday at the Liushenyu mine in the coal-rich province of Shanxi in northern China. Two remained unaccounted for with a further 128 hospitalised, state media said.
The blast is the deadliest mining accident in China since 2009, when a gas explosion at the Xinxing Mine in Heilongjiang province killed 108 people.

Sikh man accused of murdering university student with 8-inch ceremonial knife used racism as his 'trump card' to ensure police arrested his dying victim instead, court hears
A Sikh man accused of murdering a university student with a ceremonial knife used racism as his 'trump card' to ensure police arrested his dying victim instead, a court has heard.
Prosecutors said Vickrum Digwa, 23, was 'skilled' with blades when he came to murder Henry Nowak, 18, having trained with weapons since he was 12.
Digwa is on trial accused of stabbing Mr Nowak three times in the front and three times in the back during a street confrontation.

Vitamin D status in Africa is worse than in other continents
In The Lancet Global Health, Reagan M Mogire and colleagues6 describe the vitamin D status of 21 474 individuals living in 23 African countries. Severe vitamin D deficiency (<30 nmol/L 25[OH]D) was found in about 18% of these individuals, suggesting that Africa could be the continent with the highest frequency of severe vitamin D deficiency (table).

Vitamin D and Immune Regulation: Antibacterial, Antiviral, Anti-Inflammatory
There is strong evidence that vitamin D metabolic enzymes are expressed in virtually all cells in the innate and adaptive arms of the immune system. Considering the findings discussed above, vitamin D signaling appears to influence susceptibility to and severity of bacterial and viral infection via several mechanisms. These include its direct effects on the production of antimicrobial peptides and cytokines, as well as its regulation of the NF κB pathway during infection. Overall, preclinical and clinical data propose a strong link between vitamin D status and susceptibility to infectious and autoimmune diseases. There is evidence that vitamin D deficiency during early life may predispose the immune system to a greater risk of autoimmune disease or allergy.

Vitamin A Supplementation Was Associated with Reduced Mortality in Patients with Ebola Virus Disease during the West African Outbreak
There were 424 cases analyzed, of which 330 (77.8%) were treated with vitamin A. The mean age was 30.5 y and 40.3% were men. The most common symptoms were diarrhea (85.6%), anorexia (80.7%), and abdominal pain (76.9%). Mortality proportions among cases treated and not treated with vitamin A were 55.0% and 71.9%, respectively. In the propensity-matched analysis, mortality was significantly lower among cases receiving vitamin A (RR = 0.77, 95% CI: 0.59, 0.99; P = 0.041). In a subgroup analysis of patients treated with multivitamins already containing vitamin A, additional vitamin A supplementation did not impact mortality.
ConclusionsEarly vitamin A supplementation was associated with reduced mortality in patients with EVD.

Association between multivitamin supplementation and mortality among patients with Ebola virus disease: An international multisite cohort study
There were 424 patients with EVD who had sufficient treatment data for analysis, of which 261 (61.6%) had daily multivitamins initiated within 48 h of admission. The mean age of the cohort was 30.5 years and 59.4% were female. In the propensity score matched analysis, mortality was 53.5% among patients receiving multivitamins and 66.2% among patients not receiving multivitamins, resulting in a relative risk for mortality of 0.81 (p = 0.03) for patients receiving multivitamins.
ConclusionEarly multivitamin supplementation was associated with lower overall mortality.

Is vitamin C helpful against Ebola?
The other thing I find really interesting about Ebola, but have yet to find the full story on, is that it appears to affect monkeys (primates) and fruit eating bats, but not other animals. Now, the only animals I know of who cannot synthesise their own vitamin C are primates, fruit-eating bats, guinea pigs, capybaras and the red-vented bulbul bird. So, if all vitamin C producing animals are immune, or at least survive if infected, that is really interesting.

Texas Democrat Al Green Loses Primary Runoff – Gets Booted From His Seat After More Than Two Decades in Congress
The Hill reported:
Rep. Christian Menefee (D-Texas) is projected to defeat Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) in a Democratic primary runoff for the Houston-based 18th Congressional District, according to Decision Desk HQ.
Menefee, the 37-old-lawmaker who won a special election to fill the remainder of the late Rep. Sylvester Turner’s (D-Texas) seat in January, is almost certain to win the general election this fall in a district that Cook Political Report rates as solidly Democratic.
Neither Menefee nor Green, the 78-year-old who’s served in the House for over two decades, pushed past the 50 percent support needed in the March 3 primary to avoid a runoff.
The two lawmakers were pitted against each other after Texas Republicans advanced a GOP-friendly map that created multiple new pickup opportunities for the party ahead of the midterms. The controversial plan kicked off a national back-and-forth over mid-decade redistricting, including a Democrat-friendly plan to effectively counter the Texas changes in California.
Earlier this year, Al Green was booted from President Trump’s State of the Union Address for holding up a banner that read, “Black People Aren’t Apes.”
This is the second consecutive year that Al Green has been kicked out of the State of the Union.
